Anything impossible can be chromed

Electroplating was invented as early as 1805 but was later rejected by the dictator Napoleon Bonaparte. This caused the inventor to suppress any further publication of his work. Untill today many people think it is impossible to electroplate on plastic.Although electroplating on plastic is a difficult process and very labour intensive Chrometech can make it happen. We coat the items to be chrome-plated with a conductive paint. After that it will be immersed into the plating copper bath for several hours, sometimes up to 24 hours. After the copper bath it will go into nickel and last but not least into the chrome bath.

Our business has been operating since 1993 in Australia and as far as we know we are the only company that can and do chrome-plate on plastic. We do not vacuum-metallize like most people do.
